  • NEW #225 option Basics > Cooperation > Hide all a/c in Replay to have all aircraft hidden while X-Plane is in Replay mode.
  • NEW #223 option Basics > Cooperation > Hide static objects to remove static objects like towers from all data streams where identifiable.
  • NEW #18 feature: Planes correct angle for wind, crab and de-crab for take-off/landing. The wind considered is taken from current simulator's weather, ie. the same that affects your own aircraft, too.
  • General performance improvements, especially noticeable if many more aircraft are seen in the data than can be displayed.
  • OpenSky: NEW #237 option to enter credentials of a registered user account to allow for a higher number of requests per day (details).
  • Remaining requests per day are shown in the OpenSky status in the Status / About page and in the OpenSky settings.
  • ADS-B Exchange: Prepare for version 2 data format (not yet available for the RAPID API interface).
    Provides more data for potentially better altitude and type of vehicle information. Will become mandatory as the v1 format will be phased out by ADS-B Exchange at some point in time.
  • RealTraffic: NEW #229 support for traffic info format "RTTFC" introduced with RT v9, broadcasted on port 49005, becoming the default listening port. Older formats continue to work, too, no matter the network port.
    The network port LiveTraffic listens to is now configurable in Settings > Input Channels > RealTraffic.
  • The Export functionality is also extended to support RealTraffic's RTTFC format: There is a new setting Advanced > Export > Export file format to choose between the previous AITFC and the new RTTFC format.
    Use the updated Resources/SendTraffic.py to send AITFC or RTTFC data back into LiveTraffic.
  • ADDED more potential Ground Vehicles to FlightModels.prf, thanks to @sawiczja and @larsras.
  • FSCharter channel: FIXED #231 static link to flight board.
  • X-Plane 12-specific changes
    • ADDED #59: Support for X-Plane 12's wake turbulence, which is applied to TCAS targets, ie. only if LiveTraffic has TCAS control.
      So watch out...going into the wake of an airliner with your C172 may crash you! For training purposes, you can have X-Plane vizualize the wakes by selecting "View > Show 3-D Flight Mode" from the menu or hit [Ctrl-M] eight times until "Wake Turbulence" appears on the screen.
    • FIXED reading global airport scenery files, which got relocated in X-Plane 12.
